The Executive Reshuffles

On 18 July, Vedant Madan was elected to his second term as Prime Minister by the Imperial Senate. Through executive order, the Prime Minister issued reforms to internal and foreign policy. One order introduced the change to an embassy-consulate system. Other orders saw the establishment of the Mentor Corps, as well as numerous government appoints. Most recently, having concluded an official visit to United Kingdom, the Argyll Conference was organized by Prime Minister Madan and ranking UK officials for discussions on strengthening the friendship between both regions.

On 5 September, owing to personal reasons, Vedant Madan resigned from office, opening up candidacies for Prime Minister. The Imperial Senate convened where the Baron of Crescent, Edward Talleyrand was elected to serve the remainder of the term. In the Emperor's speech from Hedingham Palace he stated,
"Edward Talleyrand is a highly respected and competent politician who has previously served well in the office of Prime Minister."

In a recent peerage ceremony, Emperor Onder created Vedant Madan to Baron of Shaftesbury for his successful terms in office.



Senate Debates Loyalty Act Amendment

Hedingham Palace announced the termination of embassy relations with KGB. In addition to terminating diplomatic relations, the Emperor requested that the Imperial Senate take action to proscribe membership of The Kingdom of Great Britain, under the Loyalty Act of 2016. This announcement followed the discovery of evidence that high-ranking regional leaders of KGB had planned to overthrow the government of The West Pacific and sabotage Europeia's internal politics. Previously, in October 2015, the LKE had dissolved our treaty with KGB in response to dishonest and unprofessional conduct towards the LKE on the part of KGB's monarch. KGB subsequently submitted an apology to the LKE to obtain the restoration of embassies, but it is clear from their conspiracy against Europeia and TWP that KGB's promise to change their behaviour was insincere.

The President of the Imperial Senate, elder statesman and Peer, Nick Powell, called the Senate to session with an amendment to the Loyalty Act in light of the Crown's request. Under the Loyalty Act, a list of proscribed regions was created to actively identify organisations against the interests of the LKE, such as the Grey Wardens and The Rejected Realms. Following a debate where support for the move was expressed by all members, the Imperial Senate voted unanimously to proscribe KGB. It is expected that the Emperor will sign the amendment into law within the next few days.



Imperial Command Changes

In a recent announcement from the Imperial Authority for War, General Theoden Sebastian appointed Lieutenant-General Linkin Talleyrand as Adjutant-General of the Imperial Army. In his new position, Linkin Talleyrand will now serve as the principal deputy of the Chief of the Imperial General Staff for administrative matters. In the announcement General Sebastian stated,
"As Prince Imperial and a senior member of our region, he is eminently well placed to help craft and execute strategic military objectives, an advantage that will certainly be beneficial to him, and the service at large, with his increased responsibilities."

Lieutenant-General Linkin Talleyrand, who previously held the position of Quartermaster-General and is a former Minister of Defence, is responsible for managing the membership and training of the force. The Lieutenant-General has expressed keen interest in establishing military education programs, coordinating training operations with the Commander of the Field Army, Lieutenant-General Akillian Talleyrand, chief deputy to the CIGS.



Other News Of The Realm...
  • Minister of the Exterior, Nick Powell, ordered the closure of Albion's embassy and announced the termination of the Treaty of Pendragon between the LKE and Albion.

  • The Duke of Mornington, Akillian Talleyrand, was appointed as the 20th Lord Chancellor of the region.
  • Sean Ingram, former Prime Minister and distinguished statesman, was created Earl of Beckettford by the Emperor.
